It's cool to see AR in yet another new area. I liked the A1 idea in February. However, as great, cool, and exciting as this is. Why don't any of the cars move? They added certain effects like the rain, snow, sound of wind and ocean, car starting up, car blinker...but no Audi flying by?
It's not like the person is going to hold the iPhone up to the calendar for 5 minutes and watch the car sit there all the time. Why not have an Audi come creeping up from the distance and go screaming by while leaving a trail of dust and smoke?
exactly my thoughts - this would have taken the calendar to a whole new level!
and why should download this app? and why should i like to have such an effort, if i can go out and get a calender with cars on every picture? it's not realistic at all.
you should download the app because:
-you're an audi fan/client/car enthusiast
-you're getting a free calendar by a cool brand like audi
-the app is free
-you're curious because the empty landscapes tease you
maybe you should just have an iPhone :D
Yeah I agree, it's a bit of an ask. Ideally iPhone needs to have the ability to display the AR stuff without the app -pull the date down from the web, it's too much of an ask really.
I'll second that. Why............
I like the idea of switching different images/messages during one month.
I think that this is a waste of time and a regalur calender would do it better.
I really dont have time for such gimmicks.
Wow!
Assuming all Audi drivers have an iPhone, of course?
Great idea if your target audience are owners of iphones very interactive. I don't mind downloading the app, I like it. Send me a copy please.
I wouldn't take the effort to download the app and I don't think many others would either.

Just because you wouldn't, doesn't mean others won't.
I know. Can only think for myself though ;-)

nice
great use of online and offline media. damn! :)
who would ever look at printed calendar through an iphone? So stupid...
p.s. I am an audi fan but would never download the app and then launch it point at printed calendar
you can totally tell JopyCunior worked on this..or has some affiliation. this isn't very functional guys, sorry. media FAIL
Well, opinions are opinions. Anonymous opinions from Guests are more likely free trolling. Just because I appreciate this work, doesn't mean I have a part in it (this looks more like your way to try to discredit me): I'm not the typical cynical advertising guy that hates whatever isn't his art. Actually I'm more curious about why you're so aggressively against it.
I just said I liked it and motivated my point of view. You didn't. Sounds more like your fail. Sorry.
Well, what can I say, it doesn't amuse me, but it's ok.. If this is made by a brand I like, and they send it home, and I am free and I know there is a world premiere inside the calendar, maybe I should download the app...
Good but not great.
The only added value for the end users is a wow *first* experience, anything else, but I like AR at all :)
Maybe the app will have other new features in the next future or Audi is testing cross media experience, proximity form the Audi fans/customers and the iPhone owners...
I'm curious about their next move.
Brilliant campaign

a marvelous waist of time!
I feel like they were just trying to use AR as AR is quite "stylish".
Anyway, this campaign is good.
Its a nice idea. But does it really works? Do all Audi fans have iphone???
its just fun. and shows to client "how the agency works and creates good things for them". what about the feedback?
Hate her nails
Good work!
wow, i love the animations on the cars!! nice work!
Where can you download the app?
In the app store......?!
не плохо. ещёб вся картинка оживала в айфоне и ракурс меняла.
it's a freebie - and an invitation to engage in AR, take a leap with us into the future -
even if noone wants to download the app, or has iphone, audi fans would prolly still keep the calendar anyway, or give it away - it'll circulate, build the brand as future-seeing. either way, audi wins.

Wow ...soooo stupid. Why not just print the cars on the calendar? That doens't make any sense. I would never download the app...
Very cool, but not practical
